There's a blog called Ask Loona that... while it doesn't seem to be related to the Luna Games, captures the same vibe and honestly creeps me out a little more because of its photorealism. It's a blog revolving around an eyeless Princess Luna stuck on the moon that's been up for a couple years now and looks to be part of an interactive ARG. I think it might be worth a look into because I haven't seen much coverage of it! :}
On Tumblr? I would love to follow the blog :0

I think it was the cutiepox episode or after then.
It’s such a nostalgic game for me, I even went back to it a few months ago and remembered everything about it.
brought back a lot of childhood memories 😭
I have not ever been a brony, never heard of this game... But this video was fun and interesting. Don't ever apologise for the things that are what bring us here and if anyone ever gets critical proclaim yourself an internet historian and archivist and shut them down.

Personally i think the time has come for Luna game to get a modern revival with more atmospheric and subtle scares as opposed to endless screamers. If Sonic.EXE can make a fan-made comeback and that comeback actually be kind of good, anyone can.
Fr, even if it's just a mini scratch project or written fanfic or something i would love to see a nice revival!
Creator of Luna Game: *yes. Little kids will cry for their sweet mommies when I release this game. Ahahaha... a community will be ruined.*
Fans: “so when are ya gonna make a part 5?”
this one was good
All the mlp grimdarks and stuff like “dishonesty” and “flutter.exe” take me back even though I wasn’t ever really super into mlp and just started reading grimdarks a few months ago

“But it’s MLP, so it’s cheesy and goofy.”
As a person who watches creepy speedpaints, I can safely say, people are good at making this scary
Yeah, like "Something Sweet to Bite" genuinely terrified me as a kid. I friggin love that fanfic now though, the Candy Mare is such a cool villain!!
The likes of emala jiss influenced my art journey more than I care to admit lmao
"The cough" scared the heck outta me when i saw the 'animation' of it and i still have slight uneasy fears regarding the psycho Pinkamena creepypasta
Agreed I watched rainbow factory

Izzzyzzz talking about how she played this at 9 years old:
Me having played this at 21 years old: *Shrivels up and dies of old age*
Cool pfp.
I remember when the original Luna game came out. I played it as a small child and it gave me nightmares
Edit: I got mental whiplash with the "you've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?" Phrase.
Honestly izzzy? I’ve never been in the fandoms of like HALF the shit you talk about, and yet I always find your content fascinating, well written and presented, and just fun to watch with your style of commentary and personality! I can go to a thousand spooky channels varying in quality to hear about any of the latest or most popular ARGs, creepypastas and internet drama but where else could I go for information on an obscure pony creepypasta game, the drama and story behind a horrible teen bashing drama site, and more Neopets drama then I ever knew existed?
Every time you say “I know no one cares” we do absolutely care. We love hearing about all these random fandom facts. At least I do. Your videos are so interesting no matter the topic!
Agreed! We care a ton!
Yeah no this unlocked a DEEP memory but it's one I look back on kinda fondly!
Yeah, I love watching random videos about niche communities and old internet culture. It’s so fascinating, and it unlocks deep memories that I didn’t know existed
Her: I know no one cares
Me: but... I care :(
I rarely visit this channel, and I can confirm that random facts are pretty much always cool unless it's some info hazard shit jdnsn
*New Pony movie comes out on Netflix
Izzyzzy: Let's talk about nightmare fuel, shall we?

Perfect timing 💜
The funniest thing is that I literally just watched this with the little kids I babysit.
OMG ITS OUT!? i gotta make my boyfriend watch this with me stat.
IT IS??!! IS IT OUT IN THE U.S.?!
SOILERS FOR THE SERIES
what i find very exciting: luna also had nightmares in the original series. In the series, however, only one dream was shown, and she said that her dreams never turned out well .. that means if you have a lot of imagination you can actually connect the story of 'Luna Game' with the original series .. Lightly brutal but well who cares? (apart from the younger kids lol)
the reson they never turned out well was because she blamed herself for what she did as nighmare moon, and if i recall correctly (which i do) she got over it
@@SolarDaisy exactly!
@@SolarDaisy yeah, she summoned the tantabus to give her nightmares as punishment, and she had to forgive herself in order to make it go away
I love how in Luna Game 2 it just tells you that you died. Like no detail, nothing, I really like that, it's better than showing/telling what happened. She could have died from falling or something else, who knows really, it's the unknown that makes it scary
This would've traumatized the living shit out of me if I had played it as a kid. Sometimes I'm glad I didn't have internet access back then.
same here
more than half my problems would've been solved if i just had restricted internet access back then

I distinctly remember stumbling across Story of the Blanks at a really young age and, figuring it was a normal game, playing it. Scared myself shitless and had plenty of nightmares that night, must have been an awful time for my parents lol.
My older sister got so many nightmares too
Tbh to me this game wasn’t that scary, I really enjoyed it
“you’ve met a terrible fate, haven’t you?”
OH SHIT
My story with this game is: I was 7-8 when I started searching mlp games. I was a kid and didn't know english bc I live in Brazil, and Luna was my favorite character, so I downloaded Luna Game.
The Pinkie Pie jumpscare deeply scarred me for life. I had recurring nightmares with the loud sound (I have sound sensitivity and a huge fear of loud sounds) and it took a huge role in my phobia of loud/low pitched sounds. I was traumatized and still am, I can't play horror games. Please watch out for what your kids search online, ok?
Aw I'm sorry. That's scary
Same i used to have nightmares alot over five night at freddy's, unsupervised non native english speakr kids always find the dranest things
@@shionsaiyan8748 Thanks!
@@farawaynick9214 Ikr??? I still have FNAF 4 nightmares that make me wake up without air and sweating. I need to make a really deep meditation before sleeping because my brain just makes me dream about the worst things.
Diz a lenda que escrever "Brazil" é um poderoso encantamento usado para invocar falantes de português. Por que será?
okayokay, but do you all remember the "smile" music video and the pinkie pie torturing rainbow dash videos? gosh lmao, our childhoods were.. interesting!
I do, kid me LOVED them lol
God the smile music video is the soul reason I'm messed up on god that shit scared little me so bad LMFAOOOOOO
i think i solved why we all are f'ed up.
yeah😭😃
Smile hd genuinely scarred me, especially the fluttershy part
The forest background from the third game actually comes straight from an early build of Sonic the hedgehog 2 in an scrapped stage called "Wood zone".
Dude, this gave me instant flashbacks to CUPCAKES HD and all the other NSFL horror shit you would accidentally watch or read from the MLP community - it's amazing how its the pr0n stuff that everyone freaks out about when talking about 'THE CHILDREN' when it's for sure the fucked up gore stuff that sticks with you and gives you nightmares for a week.
Three words. Happy Tree Friends. Fuck that show, I was way too young and WHY THE FUCK DID TH-cam DO A VIDEO WITH ITS CREATORS ABOUT COPYRIGHT, DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THAT?
FUCK DUDE. I watched happy tree friends when I was 5 because I legitimately thought it was a kids show. I couldn’t hardly read and I had to watch these cute little cartoons stab their eyes out with shards of glass. I was like legitimately traumatized by that show and I only watched like one episode in stunning horrible silence. I’m so mad that was green lighted and even allowed on Netflix
OMG HAPPY TREE FRIENDS I WATCHED THAT WHEN I WAS YOUNG AF IT TRAUMATIZED ME BUT I KEPT WATCHING IT I COULDNT SLEEP AT NIGHT I WAS SO SCARED OF IT same with the MLP creepypastas I was addicted to those too but I would be so scared I remember being scared I was going to get killed by pinkie pie at night lmao-

@@languid-4535 OH MY GOD ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HAPPY TREE FRIENDS? THAT SHOW MESSED ME UP WHEN I WAS YOUNGER 😭✋
I guess I was the only kid who loved htf..
Seriously, I think I was 5 or 6 when I got the Christmas special, and I loved it
I just love how there's an assumption that we know the difference between Pinkie and Pinkamina. I mean, I do, but it's still an interesting assumption
I had to Google it 🥴
I don't know it pls someone explain
I always heard rumours and whispers about it and found random weird videos about on YT and was fascinated but I wasn't very internet savvy and didn't know how to find more information...... and unlike the other commenter, I'm STILL too nervous to google it 😖
Its a typical spooky serial killer creepypasta. Very much a product of its time
@@lmbusiness5300 That's okay! Pinkamina is, in canon, Pinkie Pie's full first name. In fandom, it's a common short hand between "normal Pinkie Pie" (Pinkie) and "straight haired, crazy eyed, potentially violent Pinkie Pie" (Pinkamina) that you see very, very briefly in show, and uncommon-ish in fandom. it's just to make communication easier, but not everyone is steeped in the Old Magics.
The funny thing is, Pinkamina is technically Canon, given thats her full name. Pinkamina Diane Pie or Pinkie Pie, her hair went flat because she thought no one wanted to be her friend and she went sorta insane using objects as guests. It comes out when shes sad too!
I think the funniest thing though, is Cupcakes came out before this was known. So it ended up being almost validated to some people since Party of One did confirm she can have breaks.
It’s CRAZY that you just posted this, considering that when I was a young kid, I was shown this by some friends and was absolutely horrified. Literally just days ago, after not even thinking of Luna game for 6+ years, I searched it up online and watched it again. How coincidental! Love your videos, Izzy!
There are no coincidences.

@@karnivorevolpe5344 there is no such thing as a coincidence. The fact that you are watching this video shows that you are energetically aligned with me, and this message. 👁👃🏽👁
Right after you said "what are the chances they come out right as I'm researching them", I half expected you to reveal yourself as the original creator of Luna Game and explain your sinister plan Gone Girl style
I've always had a soft spot for these games, even if they haven't aged all that well. (they haven't)
It reallly makes me wish somebody made a modern full-fledged horror game based on MLP with original assets, I'd honestly play that. People have made some pretty creative fangames outta the whole "Sonic.exe" thing, some that are even miles better than the original.
And I wasn't expecting to find the creator after a decade long search, nice to finally have some closure. I'm glad they're doing well.
Off topic but I love ur Spyro pfp

I know it's been almost a year, but you should check out D'LIRIUM! It's more of a horror inspired 2D shooter kind of deal and it's still in development, but it's pretty neat for a MLP fan game! And they made their own assets as far as I can tell.

Izzy. Stop apologizing for "noone caring about this" or whatever, I would listen to you talk about literally anything, especially if it's of interest to you. Neopets weren't even a thing in my country and I watched that video twice. Your videos are really interesting to watch whether or not I even knew about the things you're talking about before watching, thanks for all the amazing content!
Finally, someone says it like it is. I understand that being self-deprecating is basically the norm, but come on izzy! Your content is good.
if nobody truly cared about her content, why would she still post and upload it? hmmmmm
this! like, there is a ton of things i can't relate to that she has made videos of (like neopets or the warrior cats series) because i'm from a spanish speaking country in south america, but i still watched those videos because i like the way she explains things, like you can tell she likes talking about those topics and that's something i really love seeing. ♡
@@underwirez fr, got a bunch of subs too.
fr idek what all these things she discusses are its just entertaining
Being in the pony fandom for over a decade, I definitely remember this. I was too young and too scared by all the rumors to ever play any of the Luna Games myself, but I had no idea there was so much more to it! Really interesting!
i was OBSESSED with this corner of the internet; tysm for making this!! story of the blanks and luna game were huge inspirations for actual stories that i'm fleshing out now
Ooh what’s it about?
This is giving me flashbacks to that one video “horror short” that was on TH-cam back in the day. It was mlp of course, and me being the gullible 8 year old horse girl I was, I clicked it. It was called “Spike” and it was basically just this insane version of Spike haunting Twilight Sparkle. It scared the absolute shit out of me at that age but looking back on it feels like a fever dream.
YOO I REMEMBER THAT
@@cosmiceyness It’s one of my cursed and very heavily buried old TH-cam memories. It’s almost as funny as the girl who made her entire personality about having a crush on Herobrine. Good to know I’m not the only one lol.
YO I never saw that but now I'm mega curious. All I watched back then were those Cupcake videos and mlp creepypasta games made in gamemaker lite
If you don't mind can you send me a link? I can't seem to find it
@@Star-vu8xo Sadly it may have been deleted considering it was made a while ago and most likely by a teenager wanting to scare kids. I’ll see if I can find it but it’s doubtful.
Luna Game... that's a name I haven't heard of in years...
I remember this game series so fondly, but i could never bear to actually play the games because you know.. the whole 'virus' misinfo was pretty rampant so it's a shock to hear that 'no it was never a virus' from the creator themselves was a genuine testament to how legendary this game is. it's rightfully earned it's status as a creepypasta urban legend.
God I’d love to play those games fr, but unfortunately jumpscares are a major health risk for me so I can’t
i thought this video was gonna be about "pale luna" and was kinda freaked out
@@Aresofthevoid OMFG I FORGOT ABOUT PALE LUNA
@@krustygureum im not a creepypasta or mlp fan what is pale luna
@@gothiiispiderz pale Luna is a creepypasta about a text adventure video game that’s hiding a dark secret, I’m not sure if the pasta itself is well written because when I found out about it I watched an animated video about it. I think someone actually made an IF based off it after the pasta got popular
I’ve never played this scary pony game and yet watching this today has made me feel like it’s an important part of my life. No joke, it’s reignited my desire to make a game, something that had petered out for a while. My childhood mostly consisted of playing Sonic RPG 7 or maybe 10 and fighting some black and red Sonic clone as Shadow and Nights (does ANYONE know what I’m talking about?), but I would’ve loved to have known about this in my later Sonic.exe/creepypasta phase. Thanks for introducing me!
Excuse me, he was black and blue, and his name was Seelkadoom. Put some respect on his name.
@@PantsMasterPlays ;; You absolute legend you remembered the game, YES, Seelkadoom! I don't know why I replayed his fight so much it was just fun.
@@fIorapetals I couldn't possibly forget, I played through that whole series so much as a kid. The eighth game had a fucking opening cutscene with a Naruto song over it and it was the coolest shit I had ever seen.
Can't believe people still remember this game, wow
I love going back to creepypastas that used to scare my pants off and seeing how low-quality the art actually was
"... Before Snopes became an American politics website"
God did that line hurt sinking in.
"Creepy Pinkie Jumpscare"
...Izzy, that's Apple Bloom. Pinkie appears much later in other Luna Games and on the End is Neigh images in 1.
yeah, I was like "Pinkie? Bish where? All I see is AppleBloom looking like a demon!"
yes
It feels weird to have nostalgia for something that happened so recently but that’s how I feel about about the early mlp fandom.
I persist out of genuine interest and love for your content: How about a Garfield memorabilia rundown? So many cool things have been released over the years and I'd love to see some of the rarest and strangest things that have been marketed. And your collection too! (Do you have a "crown jewel" in terms of favorite/rarity?) As a collector myself this topic captivated me, especially after the Garfield Iceberg and the story of mysteriously multiplying Garfield phone pieces on a french beach (I want one of those phones now because they're neat and a cool story). Thanks for all the hours of intriguing enjoyment
Wow that'd be cool!
Replying to vouch ^^
I agree ❤️ would love to see the collection
that already kinda happened, with her garfield iceberg i believe
GARF 👏🏻 TOUR 👏🏻 GARF 👏🏻 TOUR 👏🏻
It's hilarious that I remember vividly how all the My Little Pony Creepypastas and various urban legends like Luna Games opened me up to other horror stories and became such an important part of my childhood. Izzy, please keep making stuff like this! It's amazing to see a channel that appreciates the nostalgia of the internet and other classic topics.
Also after 10 years, I am still terrified of creepypasta stories like Cupcakes and Rainbow Factory. The internet really was the wild west then.
god i remember cupcakes,,, i made a video on my mom's old laptop when i was 7 about pinky-pie dying and rainbow dash's revenge, or something-
also, did you ever end up using that one 3d pony creator thing? god i haven't looked at this stuff for like years

Not sure how much of a gamer you were, but I remember playing Minecraft with my kid and there being sooo many mods connected to My Little Pony. Texture packs in particular. Some of the major minecraft youtubers at the time did series on it. Kid and I had a multiplayer world going using one of the pony texture packs and I still remember the song clips used for the music discs and how all food items were candy. The pick axe was a lollipop and the torches were ice cream cones. The best mods even changed the player character to a pony and you could download skins to fit the frame. The low quality mods just pasted a pony skin onto the default "Steve" frame. Im fascinated by how much creativity fandoms build. The hours spent. Thank you for sharing these fandoms and their antics with us!
Video Recommendation : If you haven't, you should DEFINITELY do a video on IMVU, a game where sad emo kids designed their poorly rendered 3D versions of themselves all the talk in a chatroom.

Members of VHEMT have pledged not to have children to save the world
@@scarlett-moriko1543 It's insane right?? Half of the comments I post nowadays get bot replies
This brought back memories from my EdGy oWo phase.......
Edit: I remember watching youtuber playing this and me being a little coward, I skipped the scary parts
But… that’s basically the only part.
@@UnreasonableOpinions idk why i even watched it in the first place
Same man

Okay I won't lie. I didn't know that Fluttershy's Bunny Rescue was related to Luna Game. FBR was my literal childhood and I played it though Deviant Art (strangely).
I remember watching a ton of TH-camrs play these games when I was younger. I almost completely forgot about this game. It's cool to learn more about the cheesy game that scared the shit out of me as a child!
Lmao Luna Game walked so games like Undertale could run, I guess, with that shutting itself down and messing with files schtick.
But yeah, that looks like exactly the sort of shit my edgy teenage self would have adored, and as a little cringe as it is, it's so nice to see this sort of thing being experimented with.
It's kinda interesting to see where games like these have come from, and honestly makes me excited to see where this "genre" is going
Not Undertale so much, since that has its own genesis and influences, but these creepypasta games were described as an influence behind games like Pony Island, DDLC, and led to what seems like an emerging subgenre of vaguely-haunted lofi horror games.
@@UnreasonableOpinions It was mot likely IM SCARED

LunaDev: I wonder if anyone still cares?
Izzy: Hi! I’m researching Luna Game rn!
you could tell me about some random kid who farted in class 5 years ago and id still be interested
for real though, covering more obscure "cringe" fandoms is something that works well for your channel, is original, and genuinely very interesting. you have no idea how fun it is to find a deep dive video on something from when i was 12 that has like no other decent coverage. even when i dont have experiences with the topic, i find myself interested. i dont even like mlp, i had bad experiences and avoid it like the plague, but i still watched this whole video! i cant wait until a handful of years from now when i come back to your channel and see it filled with a treasure trove of content that i can settle in and enjoy and get hyped about things i would never have cared about otherwise
i have no idea if you read comments on old videos though aha maybe im just talking to myself
Can't believe the thing that kept me up when I was 7 was a still png image with edited music
I remember discovering creepypasta's for the first time back in the 2010's. I was legit 18 at the time, but due to a really really over active imagination; things like jumpscares and general creepypasta and their games absolutely terrified me. This game was no different.
I thought I was the only older kid-young adult around this time who was scared by this kind of stuff! I was, like, 14 when Slenderman became popular, and being that we had a forest in our backyard, it creeped me out to no end. I almost suspected that it was likely real at some points. After all, why would there be these TH-camrs with very realistic videos of Slenderman? lol
Although these don’t get me too bad anymore, even now, some of the stuff still creeps me out in one weird way or another, even when I know for a fact that it’s fictional. The Walten Files got me creeped out so hard, and I’m 23!
If it's any consolation, some creepypastas are just genuinely scary. People write some really affecting stuff a lot of the time, even if it is kinda just a meme.
I'm still bad with horror, even things that are barely scary, and I'm 30. I have a severe anxiety disorder, so 🤷🏽♂️
@@devent10n I feel you for the anxiety disorder as that is probably what contributes to these being so frightening for me. Even to this day, jumpscares still get me and the creepypasta I can't even big myself to check out is the smiling dog one.

I GASPED mlp jumpscare games especially luna game so much i fixiated on it so hard months ago
i remember one of my old friends in a call telling me about the games, and i was immediately fascinated and found as many similar games as i could. flutter island, dreamy rainbow, and the spell to name a couple. they warmed my heart so much, got me into eurobeat aswell :-]
i was never really around in the fandom or online back around the time [probably because i was.. 5 lol] so playing these is like a little piece of nostalgia i never had
Hell yeah! I was probably like, 13-15 when all these games came out, and it makes me so happy that people are still discovering them for the first time. The Luna Game series and Story of the Blanks will always be my faves :')
Dreamy rainbow was so scary to me when I was little. So good though!!
Screenshotted your comment so I can check flutter island and dreamy rainbow out later >:D

I actually played this as a young brony. I don't remember which one it was, but probably all of them :P
I didn't like jumpscares, or horror... but being edgey was important back then I guess uwu
So yeah! I do care!
Me and my friend played this game when it first surfaced 9+ years ago. it didn't do much, just jumpscared you, but it was hyped up a ton by the fandom with rumors of it hacking your computer or cursing/haunting the player. I also remember Story of the Blanks.
it's interesting to see other people remember it and hearing it covered brought back some memories.
Oh jeez I loved this "series", I even wrote articles covering every single game on our local Brony website. It was also my introduction to creepypastas. Can't believe it's been 10 years already. Thanks for unlocking this memory and many others once again
Oh! This may be random, but wasn't it, by any chance, a Russian fanfic website? I remember reading those when I was little!

Completely unrelated but I love your username and profile picture! It warms my heart to see anything PMMM related, it was as pivotal to my childhood as much as creepypastas were :)
@@sweetpea3134 Aw, thank you so much!
I used to play the non-image invading version as a kid since I didn’t want my computer getting possibly infected. It’s still crazy how popular it is today.
[Edit]
Bunny Rescue was always creepy to me, I had such uneasy feelings when playing it. I remember hearing there were creepy elements in it, like a bad ending of sorts?
@@laurayus9882 Why
ew I got bots
Really! I loved bunny rescue, maybe I remember it differently? I remember liking collecting games and the music ((I think???)) was kind of relaxing. Maybe I’m wrong but I remember enjoying it 😅
th-cam.com/video/8vExQK0NvDc/w-d-xo.html&ab
yeah!! the flash games on deviantart always had little easter eggs; there was this one person that when you entered the konami code on any of their games it’d activate a secret in them. and the bunny rescue game did have a bad ending, sorta! iirc if you played the game between something like midnight and 3am no matter what you did this other fluttershy would show up and kidnap the og flutters and it was really freaky bcos the music stopped and the other fluttershy had no eyes and i think there was a jumpscare too :(
I used to watch a few people play this game when i was a kid, and It actually scarred me for life when i saw the Horrifying parts of it. But when i come back to it, it just doesn't surprise me anymore.
PLEASE talk about snowthesaltqueen next, there's so much to unpack with everything that just happened
What just happened? I'm new around here.
@@Haru-rs2su snow accidentally killed someone, it was a whole police incident
@@ahomefordreams oh. Oh wow.
oh god not her
@@popsiclelatte092 i thought snow used they/them?
It's weird being 17 and having nostalgia for this. I feel like I'm too young.
as a 15 year old, same here-
Many people believe that you have to be a certain age to feel nostalgic, but that’s not true!
From the moment you remember your past and wish you could relive those moments, that’s nostalgia! But I get what you mean, we’re still young and shouldn’t be wishing to live in the past and yet here we are! 😂
@@scarlett-moriko1543 no, I mean like it feels like this happened a very long time ago, like before I could get on the internet, but it didnt.
th-cam.com/video/8vExQK0NvDc/w-d-xo.html&ab
It ain't nothing strange. I'm 10 and get nostalgic all the time.
AS SOON AS I SAW LUNA GAME I CLICKED SO FAST THIS WAS A STAPLE OF MY CHILDHOOD BRUH
MLP horror games will always have such a special place in my edgy brony heart
th-cam.com/video/8vExQK0NvDc/w-d-xo.html&ab
4:24 That's an Apple Bloom screamer.
This was an absolutely fascinating nostalgia trip and I hope to see more things like it! I was ten when the original Luna Game released, and it's so interesting to look back on it now that I'm twenty.
story of the blanks was so good. i didn't know it had been made for a mlp creepypasta contest but it def deserved the win. it made its own mysterious story, built up the atmosphere to be hit with a rlly creepy ending, and none of it felt boring. highly recommend anyone play it if your into creepypasta stuff.
Also no screamers, and graphic gore.
I found it accidentally while looking for 8 bit mlp remixes, I had no clue what I was getting into and it actually told a good story
I'm genuinely curious if Story of the Blanks holds up. I remember it being genuinely creepy and well-written.
“You’ve met with a terrible fate, haven’t you?”
MEMORIES ARE FLOODING BACK
This was like getting closure on a friendship that just disappeared out of nowhere long ago! I became a FiM fan around the beginning of season 2, so this was pretty nostalgic. Thank you so much for this piece!
I'm a new fan, I'm only on season 2 actually now! I was mildly aware of mlp for a few years, and decided to give the G5 movie a chance after saberspark's video
can you cover the baby alive fandom i was apart of it when i was like 8 and its really weird and small. ive never seen anyone cover it and its kinda disappointing as there are alot of creepy weird borderline incesty aspects to it.
WAIT WHAT
omg I want to see this
YES that fandom is terrifying omg
omg the likes are at 69
Ooh
i had the vaguest memories of this game in my brain. literally from when youtubers played it a decade ago. thank you for making me remember what it actually was!! nostalgia and mlp fandom stuff lol. genuinely great!!! also your makeup and hair and your choker.... bro i love them so much
Comic Sans is probably the most funny font for me
This is a great way to start the spooky season
you know the day gonna be fine when izzzyzzz uploads
I love how it started like "Jesus Christ, wtf was that?!" and ended up being a Hallmark of brony culture.
To be honest I completly forgot about this part of my childhood 😅 I never played it myself though watched letsplays/other people play it and was absolutely terrified of it. Looking back now I remember a few other games like “A thousand years” and I remember feeling a little off put about it though now I find it all still a little unnerving, now I find it a little funny 😂🤣
I love it when you cover obscure fandom artifacts regardless of whether it was something I was into or not it's cool to see what other parts of the internet were up to back then!
Takes me back to when the Internet was a wild west
It’s so genuinely interesting when you cover obscure topics from different fandoms, it feels like you’re documenting it all and keeping it alive
4:34 that's actually Apple Bloom and, if i remember the Cupcakes creepypasta correctly, she's Pinkie's helper in that canon. That's probably fanart for that story.
5:49 also, notably, the gamemaker software that was used to develop *UNDERTALE*.
MAN, that software has some range.
gamemaker has two sides
This is so nostalgic. I almost completely forgot about this game. Scared the crap out of me as a kid
YUPPP
